The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said the investigation stemmed from a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children claiming 18 files of child pornography were uploaded online.
Deputies served a search warrant at Bell's home Wednesday, saying they found evidence related to the case, as well as computer-generated child pornography.
According to Bell's LinkedIn account, he is a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and the creator of the syndicated comic strip "Candorville."
Deputies said this was the first arrest by the Sacramento Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Detectives where possession of computer-generated child pornography charges were filed against a suspect thanks to a new law that went into effect at the beginning of the year.
